I am such an emotional person and this just made me cry happy tears for you and your family. God's blessings are abundant for you and it is such an amazing thing to watch! You inspire me every single day sweetie and I thank you for that. Having MS and spine disease had taken me down for a long time and when I prayed to God to reveal my new purpose I saw your videos and began to plant again. It is harder, harder than I ever realized. But I am doing it. Good days or bad days I am putting my hands in dirt and growing what I can. You are one of a few that helped bring me back to life and I am grateful for that. I know that God is working his blessings on me too. Much love and Grace, ~Tish BYHH

Came for the gardening, stayed for family!! Love it all!!

Totally a Mr. Rogers moment. My fav was when he went to the mushroom farm. Gosh I wish he were still here today.

Same. Loved this video as much as I loved Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood's visit to the crayon factory and the peanut butter facility. Nice alterna' content, Roots & Refuge!

I ❤️ this shirt tour at B-Unlimited. That’s such a special experience for y’all!!

The Mister Rogers episode when he went to the Crayon factory was my all time favorite 😊

There are more and more people doing what your brother did plus homesteading. I see it as society turning their back on the grand design of traditional society. People are starting to realize there is more to life than just working and paying bills.

The following are different parts of the video that I love so much: "Smells like the earth when it's happy" "Hey Ben" "sup mama" "Season of transition" I love the way you speak.. I love your energy.

LUCKY! I just laughed out loud reading that!

This was very cool. I wish your baby brother safe travels on his new journey. Very exciting! Watching how they make your merch was very interesting. I, too, am one of those people who love to see how things are made, so I really enjoyed that. Some of your fans are going to be fangirling big time when they find your little surprise. Thank you for all that you do, you enrich our lives more than you know.

I'm leaving my garden for 2 weeks while I go to be with my sister to support her while her husband has open heart surgery. Glad that my husband has gardened with me in the past and glad for smart phones. I can see what's going on. I needed this video today to reassure me that is will be okay.

Yay! I love seeing the shirt manufacturer! Thank you for taking us along. I also appreciated hearing about the water based ink and how it is more sustainable!

Thanks for showing us this company - thinking about my library staff and how great it would be to have official T-shirts! :)

My kids watched Mr. Rogers. So I watched Mr. Rogers and watching how things were made was my favorite too.

Thank you for taking us with you on your special Field trip, loved every bit of it.

Even my 22 year old still loves the idea of going through tunnels like that from our road travels. Hoping your boys always keep that joy for cool stuff like that , and treasure these great memories they are making with you and Miah traveling through them together. Such a precious family, that I have never got to meet IRL but am so grateful for that I met on KZread 2 years ago plus. Every time, I drop in it feels like visiting with old friends who are such a blessing. I loved that pare of Mr. Rogers and Trolley coming out.

I can so relate to leaving my seedlings in my new greenhouse for couple days... last minute plans being invited to Photograph four horses 350 miles away, being sold in a high end Premier Horse Sale in Sept in Fort Worth TX... Back to my 45 yr passion of capturing gorgeous horses in action with an artistic eye... But to leave my new passion of growing real food from Seedlings is trusting my Faith to others!! They will be fine in both of our situations!! Praise God for Life!!🙌

That was the cutest thing ever seeing your 3 little boyz giving the baby goats milk😍😍❤

Thank you for sharing other parts of your lives with us! It is real! That was a wonderful trip to go on with you all.

I loved Mister Rogers. ❤❤❤ You definitely give off the sort of vibe he had when you talk about gardening, family and life. Guess that's why I enjoy your channel so much ❤ I used to silk screen...a lot of fun. Days when I had time for artistic pursuits.

Hi Jess! This was very enjoyable. Your videos shouldn't be limited to just gardening and the farm. They should be about your lives. I agree with everything you said. I hope Drew and his lady have a wonderful, and safe, time traveling! Thank you so much for sharing!

I loved it when you mentioned Mr Rogers ❤. I teared up when you went in the plant ant saw your shirt and things being shipped. So cool. You wrote note, How super sweet, 🤗😍. Y'all are great, never change woman. God Bless

Jess! Your glee at making the t-shirts was delightful. I love every moment of content you put out, your videos are a bright and soothing moment in my day. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

Your sons are such awesome helpers

I am far too old for Mr. Rogers but I did tour Carnation Dairy when I was a kid in Los Angeles. Glad you got to have that good-bye with your brother and see your Dad. Wishing your brother great safety and success on the road. Thanks for sharing the tour of the factory.

Crazy trip down memory lane with this video. My first job in high-school was working in a screen printing shirt factory doing small orders like these. Wow, that was almost 20 years ago.

I used to be in the printing industry! Things haven't changed that much with screen printing. I did design ads in a newspaper and print media! This is so fun to see again! It's been 20 years....

I agree Jess! I also love to see how things are made, how things work so another reason why seeing all sides of Roots & Refuge is so fun!

"so if you guys have purchased a shirt" Me: wearing wild things shirt while watching lol

It was great to see b-unlimited. Now I know where my shirts were made! I follow Drew so I have seen his camper. Will be looking forward to his updates on their travels. Thank you for your trip today. Bless You and Yours.

Mr. Rogers and Mr. Mcfeely were my jam. And the make believe was everything 🙌🏻💗

I'm wearing your "Please Plant Me Where The Wild Things Grow" t-shirt while watching this. Love it. Got it about a week ago. Very happy with it...colorful, great design and sooo soft! Yes!!!

What an emotional year of change this is for you guys. Love how you are embracing it and taking the leap of faith. The tour was awesome totally Mr Roger's style🥰

My real food grows dirty shirt is without question the softest, most comfortable piece of clothing I own! Super cool to see the shop and learn about their processes. ❤️

This video is SO cool. I love seeing the print shop. My other love aside from gardening is art and I've been wanting to get back into silk screen printmaking. Also, how amazing would it be, everyone, if Jess' brother vloged his airstream trip? I would watch the heck out of it. He seems like such a great guy.

Awesome video! LOVED seeing more of your real day-to-day, "glass house" moments! It's totally alright if everything isn't garden and animals all the time. ❤

Hearing about your brother and his ladys adventure speaks to me. Van/bus/tiny house living calls to my heart and soul. I have an aching need to wander. So cool to see where my tshirt just came from!!! I was employed at a silk screen place for a short time. I recognize that process.

I loved this video as I do all of the others. It's great to see regular family life. There is more to it than just homesteading.

Yes that was my favorite part of Mr. Rogers I love watching how stuff is made

Nothing better then a silk screened shirt.

You could blog about nothing and I bet at the end I’d still be sitting here smiling to myself. Thank you for sharing and teaching.

Mr.Rogers sure spent a lot of time in my living room🥰. Thx for sharing this road trip.

Yes. I loved that part of Mr. Rogers, too. My parents tried to do factory tours on vacations as well. TY for promoting a Fayetteville business. I miss the beauty of Fayetteville.

Thank you Jess, that was fun. Reminds me of old school doing the screen printing by hand on a teeshirt back when; long time ago...😊🌱☮

Mister Rodgers factory tours were the best!

Absolutely LOVED the tour of the B Unlimited shop! I've ordered 4 shirts and just ordered the tank yesterday. Love the designs, print job and I love the high quality of the direct ink printing. I definitely felt like I was watching a Mr. Rogers field trip through Picture Picture.

Hi,thanks for taking us along and I wish your brother and his good lady a safe journey.

What a fun video.... lots of neat stuff you shared with us. Best Wishes to your brother on his Excellent Adventure touring/working the USA. And that was truly special to see the merchandise production company. Thanks for always bringing us interesting videos, no matter what subject.

Good morning everyone! Plants are looking great! Ours finally started to pop through the soil this morning!

Jackson is so grown up now I hardly recognized him!! Following your brothers channel now.

Absolutely love seeing your personal lives. Very special to me. Thank you so much for sharing this.

I’m LOVING the variety in the daily content. This was a treat. Keep them coming. 🌻

Thanks, I thought this was a great video. Interesting content. Cute brother. We all enjoy following along wherever y'all go. God bless y'all in all your endeavors.

YES I loved that part of Mr. Rogers as well! My daughter and I went to the movies to see the movie about him and we dearly LOVED it and I found out more good things about him that I did not know. What a man!!! LOVED seeing how the shirts are made!!!!!

That's really cool. I love that green color too! Best of luck to your brother and his significant other. ♥ It's always sad when things change.

"It smells like the earth when its happy!" ❤⚡🌱💥

That was just such a cool 'field trip' stop! I love shops like that. And I pray the best for your brother.

I feel like your whole family oozes positivity, love, and acceptance. Warms my heart

I enjoyed this vlog its nice to see different content that show different glimpses into your daily life. I always pretty much enjoy everything you guys share with us its always interesting. It was so adorable beautiful seeing your 3 young boys bottle feeding the goat kids. Those shirts were cool!

nothing like a brother/sister relationship!

Thank you so much for sharing your life! I love airstreams! I can't wait to be debt free (8 months) so I can buy all your beautiful merchandise! Lovely

How sweet that it is hard to leave the little seedlings at any stage. It must have been so hard for Christ to leave his seedling church...

I love the extra videos. Thank you for including us in your lives

Loved the tour of the t-shirt shop. Awesome, supporting local businesses 👏

Love seeing your everyday life and meeting more of your family.

I love my t-shirt! The material is wonderfully soft, it doesn’t shrink and I need more!!!

I am accountant for a manufacturing company, 30 years. I LOVE it!!!

Cutest farm boys ever!! Best of luck to your brother and his girlfriend!!

I'm so excited to see if we get a note in our tote bag package!

Excellent, everyone would love to have a handwritten letter from you, even me!

I like these videos just as much as the other ones. We really get to know you a lot better. Plus with KZread replacing my cable it’s nice for the little switch up.

What a fun getaway with the boys. I wish your brother and his family a terrific adventure and fun, safe travels. 😎🌞

Thank you for share your live and business with us too. All the best for you!

I loved seeing where my shirts came from! I'm excited for your brother. I've subscribed to his channel because the whole reason I started watching KZread was when I bought my first RV. Then I thought that I'd search for gardening because I love gardening which led me to start watching you. I guess I've done a full circle. Maybe I'll run into your brother when I'm out on the road this summer. 😁

I love that you are talking about being past your last frost at the same time a notification for another blizzard warning next week comes across my phone screen. Hahaha, hello from Wyoming.

I look forward to the diversity! I loved todays vid. Yes, please show us EVERYTHING! (Well most everything ;)

Oh man when you talked about Mr. Rogers and the videos Mr. McFeely used to bring, I vividly remember being a kid and being asked what I wanted to be when I grew up and I remember watching a video of an apple sauce plant where they jar applesauce and saying I want to work in a factory where they jar applesauce because I sought on Mr. Rogers and I thought it was the coolest thing ever! I just love how things are made so that was very cool to get to see how the T-shirt that I’ve ordered was made. I appreciate you guys and everything I’ve learned from you watching this channel definitely motivates me in more ways than one! It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood!

How exciting you got to visit B Unlimited! I can't wait to get my order! I hope your brother and his lady have great travels!

Good Morning 🌞, and Thank you for all your hard work

I’m with your brother, wall art is my thing.

God Bless you. I pray your brother finds their adventure. Life is short. And I pray for your move. That it will be everything you hope. God Bless, Deborah.

Yay kids! Farm life is great for kids. Help your mom! God Bless you and have a safe trip. Keep doing what your doing, its Great.🙏💜💐😇🥰

This makes my latest purchase of your shirts, all the more sweeter!!!!!! This is beautiful you guys!!!!

So many adventures to come, both large and small. Wishing safe and happy journeys to everyone!

Thank you for taking me on a little getaway !

Dang it! I wish I’d waited to order my shirt now! 😆 very cool! This brings back memories from when I worked for a screen printing shop. It’s so fun to see your shirts being made! 💜🌻

That was fun! Thank you for taking us along.

Really enjoyed the camper tour!! We are campers and have a large pull behind which is fairly new ( latest of several!). My single daughter however recently sent my grandson on his way to college and has decided to purchase an older camper and redo as your brother did. I think she will have a lot of fun!! I know it was hard saying farewell to your brother but remember that it’s not forever and he should have a great adventure!! It was difficult for my husband and I to move from Texas to Florida but we see kids and grandkids a lot and it’s always an adventure when they visit here in the garden at our home or gliding down the St Johns River in our houseboat! Sending Blessings to all and safe travel prayers to your brother and his girlfriend!!

Have you seen the video where this man had a baby goat feeding station? You need this! Looks easy to make.

Now that was fun!!! Thank you for sharing your videos with your fans!

You and your brother look alike. It's nice seeing your extended family. Feel like we're all old friends. lol

I like how much jess loves to laugh

That was such a cool trip of the factory! Thank you for sharing that with us.

Hugs to you I have an older brother and our time of transitions and happy seasons I keep tucked away in my heart. I can so relate! Ps: I am a designer and my heart is in printmaking. Also loved Mr. Rogers, we share the factory episodes now with our children. I also dream to own an Airstream haha. This was an all around fun video to watch. My favorites of course are your gardening videos but it’s so fun that you are spicing it up a bit. Many blessings to you!
